My tips on getting (and keeping) in shape

7. Pretty sedentary overall.

Total desk job, so about the most exercise I get there is grabbing a file from the file room 20 feet away, or running something a couple of hundred feet to the mail drop, I hadn't done any kind of intentional exercise for probably close to 20 years. I got a point back then when life was just too frantic, and it was an easy thing to give up. So, for all of those years, the only activity I had was yard work, house work, etc. Nothing intentional or planned as physical activity - got to the point I didn't even walk the dog further than necessary.

So, yes, it has been a dramatic change. Brought on by a lot of things that happened. I feel like I have been let out of prison - I am doing all of the things I always wanted to do but was not allowed to as a kid, and then basically denied to myself as an adult. I love every minute of it in a way I didn't even know was possible.
